The Navy Just Got The Keys To The Most 'Advanced' Ship It's Ever Had

The Navy just got its most advanced ship yet. You're looking at the DDG-1000, a 610-foot destroyer. The Navy calls it "the most technically complex" ship ever. And it should be — it took more than 20 years of planning.

The ship's design makes it more difficult for enemy radar to detect, and they likely don't want to be on the receiving end of the ship's wrath. It can fire long-range projectiles up to 63 nautical miles. It also has 80 launch cells for Tomahawk missiles, two other kinds of missiles and anti-submarine rockets.
